This significant expansion encompasses a series of projects unfolding over a seven-year period within an active hospital campus. In the initial phase, a two-story vertical extension, totaling 60,000 sq. ft., was added to the existing East Tower, now known as the Coulombe Family Tower. This phase also included the installation of the new Sisters Heliport, a three-story vertical expansion to the existing visitor parking garage, and substantial enhancements to the Central Utility Plant. The vertical overbuild introduced 64 new patient beds, a family consultation room, patient care workstations, a new helipad with dual landing zones, an extension of the existing parking garage, and the expansion of the chilled water plant to accommodate the necessary increased capacity for the entire expansion.

Through SourceBlue-led procurement, the Maine Medical Center project was able to realize savings & budget certainty through a competitive, product-focused procurement approach; as well as schedule benefits by utilizing the tower crane to set the air handling units ahead of the start of structural steel. This removed safety hazards associated with rigging the AHU section in the side of the building and across the floor. The setting of the unit with the tower crane also allowed the unit to be engineered in larger shipping splits, reducing the quantity of AHU field joints which in the long run provides a better unit. Early procurement & engineering enabled pro-active solutions which improves long term quality and performance of the unit.
